[Verse 1] You dressed in velvet lies, Silver tongue and hunger eyes. I gave you blood, you called it wine — Drained my veins, you called it mine. I wore your shadow, lived your game, A puppet carved to bear your name. Every kiss a little theft, Every promise hollow breath. [Pre-Chorus] But monsters don’t live in mirrors, They hide in the ones they own. You crowned yourself as savior, While feeding on my bones. [Chorus] Ventrue, you drank me dry — Said love was hunger, dressed as pride. I broke the chains, you cursed my name, Called me beast, unfit for flame. But your curse won’t see me through — ’Cause I am free, and I outlived you. [Verse 2] You built a throne from what I gave, A palace dug inside my grave. Your touch was cold, a gilded knife, Your love? Just theater dressed as life. I stitched my wounds with midnight fire, Turned my scars into a choir. The night now sings a different hymn — Your silence lost, my freedom wins. [Pre-Chorus] You called me void, unloved, undone, But darling — I’ve already won. Your venom couldn’t make me stay, I found the dawn and walked away. [Chorus] Ventrue, you drank me dry — Said love was hunger, dressed as pride. I broke the chains, you cursed my name, Called me beast, unfit for flame. But your curse won’t see me through — ’Cause I am free, and I outlived you. [Bridge] Call me monster, call me void, Call me love you can’t destroy. Project your ruin, paint me black, But I’ll never crawl back. [Final Chorus] Ventrue, you drank me dry — But shadows starve when faced with light. I wear my fangs without your shame, Your kingdom burns, I keep the flame. And if I’m monster, so be true — I’m stronger now, without you. [Outro] Ventrue… your name’s a ghost. And I survive what you feared most.
